I'M PROUD TO ANNOUNCE MY 80th BIRTHDAY TODAY!

This is my Birthday Gift. I'm presently in the process of building a bench for it.

I'll be posting it when it's completed

I had to get this new lathe, because I have some larger wood from a Black Walnut I had to have taken down in our

yard.

I'd like to make some larger things with the wood. I couldn't let it go to the chipper!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Addendum:

I dwelled on wether to buy a new lathe at age 80, but I remembered my 90 year old neighbor. He painted his stucco house all by himself at that age, so I said to myself, "GO FOR IT"!

Lathe with the extension attached!

THANKS MARK!

Getting older keeps getting better, accept I'm a little slower, & the years go faster!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY FRIEND…and hey--if you have another lathe--its just more stuff to stick up in the attic for you to find down the road…small lathe projects are perfect to store in small places for later discovery!

You are a super star!

Sorry I missed this thread. Barb, your family and I have all been nurtured and grown in a great way just knowing you Buddy, and I don't mean that lightly. You are a master craftsman, engineer and friend. God Bless you and hold you in his loving arms for many years to come, I guess we need to get back on skype and catch up. Happy Birthday Dick, you aren't getting older, you are getting smarter, Kris says HB frome her too. love you, mike
